Keep us posted.

We're running a Sparco Pro-ADV, it's a good fit for all of our drivers.

Here's a picture of the underside of our fuel cell. It's in roughly the same location as the stock tank it's just much larger.

damn, where the heck did you get that and how much did it cost?

The cell came from Fuel Safe out on the west coast, they should have our design on file if you want to get the same capacity.


We just received a nice low mileage takeout engine to do some testing on.

What is the SCCA spec in regards to GTC200? Shorter wing stands?

The airfoil is a hair bigger than what they would normally allow, but this wing specifically is allowed. We still have height restrictions on the stands.

It's been a while since we've done an update and I know you guys always like new stuff.

Since the last update the car has undergone some slight changes. First up is the RR Racing front and rear brake kit. We're running the forged superlite 4 piston calipers front and rear with the light two piece rotors. Our class limits us to 4 piston calipers or we would have gone a little bigger.


We also have a stock brz engine back in the car for testing and tuning. We didn't want to put a lot of miles and abuse on the race motor while just learning the car and figuring out what setups work best.

If anyone in the Tri-State area wants to come out and see the car on track we will be at the Mega meet and track event at NJMP on September 12th.

Today we're touching up some of the little things we wanted to get done before the track day on the 12th.

One of our biggest concerns initially was some of the less durable connectors on our surge tank system. Today they're getting replaced with some nice new TE connectors which should outlast us all.

Would you mind elaborating on your decision to switch from the AP Racing to RR brakes?

Currently, neither AP racing nor Essex parts offers a solution for the rear brakes. The RR racing kit allows us to run a balanced setup with beefy pads in the front and the rear. The consumables costs are almost half as well, we're able to do a full rotor ring and pad change on the RR kit for what it costs us to get front rings on the AP kit. It also doesn't hurt that Rafi is right down the road from us.

Who can guess what these are for?
